I am no longer giving advice on Advicenators, and have requested that my account be deleted.

I am now giving advice on Askville as ->Peter

If you're looking for good advice here, I suggest you ask YoungGrandma. She's the best.

I don't expect to be checking in on this site again, so if you want to ask me something, see you on Askville!

Good luck!

I would like to get a nice stomach. Not asking for rock hard abs but something impressive. The thing is i need at home ideas. I dont have access to equipment. Also i have a slight heart problem so runnings kinda hard on me but i can still do it. Any ideas? (link)
Step one, absolutely, is a serious talk with your doctor.

NEVER mess around with a heart condition. Not even a mild one.

That said, your doctor should be able to recommend a program of exercise and nutrition that should help you get into shape. And just so you know, although sit-ups and crunches will develop your abdominal muscles, your overall shape is really determined by your general body fat; there are no exercises which will eliminate fat only in one part of your body. So you'll have to get all of you in shape in order to have a nice stomach.

Membership in a gym isn't necessary in order to get in shape; you can get great results with brisk half-hour walks and ten-pound hand weights (or five pound weights, depending on how strong you are). And of course there's all sorts of great information about nutrition online. The US government's Food Pyramid is a good place to start: http://www.mypyramid.gov/

But please speak to your doctor first.

Good luck!
